TradeKing continues to enlist top talent to benefit the Community.

Consistent with our effort to bring you the best in trading education and instruction, we've recruited a new option player. I am excited to announce that former CBOE market maker Dan Sheridan has joined our talented All-Star Commentator roster. Welcome!

Dan Sheridan is a 22-year veteran CBOE market maker who served as senior trader, trainer, and risk manager for one of the most successful option trading specialist firms on the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Mercury Trading. Along with being one of the head traders, Dan was responsible for training and mentoring its traders, including current Mercury president and top Options Trader Pete Najarian.  Since leaving the pit in 2004, he has mentored individual traders on the techniques and methods he used everyday to consistently profit in the options markets. Through his company, Sheridan Mentoring, he aims to provide retail investors with the knowledge they need to be successful traders.

A dynamic presenter, Dan regularly teaches traders and retail investors on behalf of the CBOE's Options Institute. In addition to Mercury Trading, he has provided training and commentary to numerous organizations including First Options, the Mexican Stock Exchange, DePaul University, Jon Najarian's TCB Radio program, and WCIU TV 26 (Chicago).

We look forward to Dan's explanations and no-nonsense market lessons.

Regards,

--Nicole Wachs
